City migration is a common occurrence - when couples or families are tired of life in the city they tend to move out of the area to buy their ideal home. The Melbury development at Newcastle Great Park provides an ideal alternative.

This development enables people to move into sought-after and desirable homes without having to put the distance between themselves and city amenities.

And there's a new phase hitting the Charles Church development which brings something else - the introduction of a selection of luxury and original looking homes - and there's nothing quite like them anywhere else on the market.

So what exactly is a luxury home? Well it's hard to define as people have varying tastes. A common trend with Charles Church homes is the amount of space offered throughout a property with high ceilings and excellent specification, giving a potential buyer the feeling of a little luxury.

These latest Charles Church releases offer something a little bit different. With names of grandeur deciding the direction of these buildings, Charles Church has created a clear opportunity for punters to grab something with a genuine uniqueness.

The five-bedroom homes will feature The Osaka, Melbourne, Prague and Chicago and feature large-fronted houses with balconies, long windows and a there's a real sense of walking down the street somewhere overseas.

Getting away completely from a typical English design, these homes are catered for a large family and for those who fancy having something different, but also in-keeping with the surrounding area.

Taking The Osaka house type as an example. The imposing front features a glass-fronted entrance with added entrances to either side with a balcony on top of each. In the middle, exiting from the roof, is another balcony leading from the loft room.

Entering the property on the ground floor you are met with a lobby, a large and spacious hall with a living room, family room, study, dining and utility room and huge kitchen with breakfast room leading from it.

On to the first floor you are met with another large hall space leading on to five large bedrooms - two with balconies - family bathroom, a dressing room and three en-suite bathrooms.

Leading on to the second floor there's a huge open space ideal for a games room, which also features a balcony, tel: (0191) 236-6763.
